so none of you hate wal-mart for being incidentally related to the sexual neuroses of a narcissistic woman-child?? i'm shocked... :eek:

jheii 04.06.2006 04:08 PM

Anyone who contributes to any sort of neuroses should be congratulated. But it's not hip to congratulate Wal-Mart for anything. My brain's going to explode.

jheii 04.06.2006 04:15 PM

do you ever use the word "deck" as an adjective? (im not talking tape decks) i have never met anyone who says that, and it supposedly is a requirement according to the hipster handbook. as a matter of fact, i've never set foot in brooklyn either.

jheii 04.06.2006 04:28 PM

I guess I'll have to forfeit my hipster title on a technicality. I've never heard of that either.

sellouteater 04.06.2006 04:34 PM

Some hipster made that up so all the other hipsters would think they are not hip, because they dont know the word. Thus, the hipster whom made that word up would become the ultiment hipster.

jheii 04.06.2006 04:38 PM

We need to find out who he is, so we can revoke his hipster status by accusing him of trying too hard. We'll also put the word "deck" back where it belongs. In the electronics section.

Yeah

Right. And most people would say that such a prerogative is a shitty one which dictates where one will choose to spend one's money. It's like voting - do you support the right when you're pro left? No, you support the party which reflects your principles. Likewise, you spend your money where you want that money to go. I'm hardly an activist, but I flatly refuse to buy Nestle products. I am guilty of being less than proactive in otehr areas, but this one is easy to keep up. I hate Nestle. I am glad that none of my limited finances go to further their ethics. Although most of the information I know about Walmart is second, third-hand, it's still reliable enough for me to shop elsewhere.

I daresay it's true that Walmart treats its immediate employees extremely well. The problem is that many large corporations are able to have this as a handy distraction from the few-degrees-removed exploitation of those even more in need than Mr Meet and Greet.

The most alarming thing about Walmart, as I have found in my limited experience of it, is that it will invariably stink of shitty nappies (daipers).

Oh dear. did anyone expect me to read the WHOLE thread? It's 4 pages long!

qprogeny79 04.06.2006 05:11 PM

like, i was like, being sarcastic, y'know?

yeah, to reiterate, it's all a matter of personal preference. if you don't like certain companies, stay away.
